I am working guy, I want to increase my weight, but the thing is I won't be able to do workout due to the work. But I have dumbbells and iron bar for regular exercise. Should I take a weight gainer without going to a gym ? Please help me out to increase my weight.

  • By "I want to increase my weight", do you mean add muscle, or, pure body weight? And, is your current weight "normal" for your body size?

Unless you are a hard training athlete, I would caution about using weight gain powders. They typically contain more calories than you need, and, people tend to use them to substitute for a meal because it is much easier to make a quick drink than prepare a nutritious meal. They can also be quite expensive. Instead, try to increase your calories by eating a sensible diet. There are plenty of posts on this forum where people have asked how to gain weight with proper nutrition. I would also track my current calories in a food journal so that you can increase them gradually. Good luck and don't expect results over night.
